How To Draw A Fish

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

Most of us have been taught how to draw a fish when we were kids. But like me, I know that many of you have forgotten how to do so. Although I have completely forgotten the basics of drawing a fish, I was able to recall them once I had gone through a few fish drawing tutorials on YouTube. I bet these tutorials can help you refresh your memories as well, and get you back to drawing fishes the way you used to as a child.

To draw a fish, you first draw a line art of the fish. Next, you turn your attention to the fish's eyes. Afterwards, you move on to its main body, and work out the details on the fish scales or other body patterns. Finally, once all this is done, you draw the fins, and add other necessary details.
